Taking data and verifying POCs, and publishing into Whois. Some responded

policy-oriented. AD then asked if the policy should be rewritten,

Committee Report on 2003-4 IPv6 Policy Changes

DF
posted draft text to the AC IPv6 mailing list requesting
information on what the
other
RIRs were interested in doing. RJ stated that those
on the IPv6 edit list were in favor of a global discussion, not a regional
proposal.
This was sent to the PPML. LR asked if it should
be abandoned or keep it going
forward.

It was decided that DF would start a discussion on the PPML. RP interjected
that discussion regarding the 200 number of customers should take place.
It was agreed that DF would get a discussion going on the list.

The
Chair called for volunteers to form a discussion group. RP
gave a brief background on this issue stating that
currently there is no policy on criteria for IANA to allocate
v4 space to the RIRs. This
proposal covers existing and emerging RIRs. The issue
was discussed between all the RIRs and it’s a “meeting of the minds”,
it is truly a global policy. It will need to go before the ICANN
Board. The Chair felt this proposal should be assigned to “ac-iana” discussion
group already in place. BD, SW and JS will be shepherding
this proposal.

RP stated a similar discussion about IPv6 would be forthcoming shortly
as well.

another email posted to the
PPML to say
we’d like to move forward and to address concerns. RJ stated
that ARIN staff can post an email to the
PPML stating that this will
be discussed at the upcoming public policy
meeting and that some decision is needed,
reminding people that are against it,
that this
needs
to
be decided upon one way or the other.

Bill Darte joined the call at this point, and apologized for his
late arrival.

11.

17.
Committee Report
on Policy Proposal Template

BD
stated that ARIN Staff published a flowchart to the PPML that was commented
on
and
it was then re-published.
RJ further stated that several versions of
the new policy
process document have been reviewed, and that the most recent version
is currently
under
review by Scott
Bradner.
He stated that it includes the template
that BD and others originally drafted. The Chair asked
RJ when they could expect
it to go into effect. RJ replied sometime
shortly after the public
policy meeting. RP then interjected
that a possible short Board meeting in Chicago may take place. The chair
called for any
further comments. There
were none.

RJ
then gave an update on AFRINIC. He stated that ISPs from the
Africa portion of ARIN region are submitting a policy proposal to change
the
IPv4 policy so that
it is moved back 2 bits. The multi-home policy minimum allocation
size
would a /22. They would need to show justification of
/23. Even if not
multi-homed, they are requesting a change to a /22 as well. RJ
reiterated that this is only intended to apply to the Africa
portion of the ARIN
region until AFRINIC is recognized as an RIR. He explained that
Policy Proposal 2002-3 was described to AFRINIC attendees,
but they felt there
was no guarantee that the policy would succeed, and wanted to
submit their own policy proposal. RJ said that final words
on the language are
being finished and would be posted to the PPML on Monday.

RJ stated that ARIN will be broadcasting the meeting over the Internet
for the first time (audio and video), and if possible, in the future
interactive features would be added.

18. Review of Open Action Item List

OPEN ACTION ITEM LIST:

JAN03-11 RJ, AF

It was suggested that regarding routability testing, the RIRs could
announce the space themselves and see if they run into any problems.
AF stated that he has set up reachability tests, and could informally
provide this information to ARIN to determine what networks would not
be able to reach the space.

Update
5/8/03: RJ stated that he has emailed AF letting him know that the
next /8 allocation would likely be a 70/8 and if he was still willing,
once ARIN made announcements to the mailing lists regarding
the space,
they could work together on some routability testing.

Updated 09/18/03: RJ stated that AF does have the resources to test,
and when ARIN gets a new /8 from IANA close to year-end, immediate testing
would begin. The Chair requested this issue be shelved until such time
as testing begins. CLOSED.
